Chapter 1084 If the city is captured, it will be shameful if you can't defend it
Chapter 1084
"Master, why don't we withdraw our troops and return to Xiazhou for the time being?" A Liao general stood up and hesitated to advise Yelu Dadun, who was as deep as water.
"Not proper!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up next to him and opposed it. "Now our army is in a hurry to attack. Isn't it a rash withdrawal to give the Song army at Sanchakou a chance to breathe?"
"The last general thought that the messenger should be sent immediately. General Xiao, who was rushing to Wanjingkou, rushed to the east and rushed to Xiazhou to reinforce. In addition, I believe that the Amitabha Cave should have received the news. In this way, what should the two armies do? How can the Zhong Shidao, who is alone and deeply invaded, be able to be good?"
"Well, it's reasonable, just do it. When someone comes, go to chase General Xiao Zhongwen immediately and tell him that he will immediately turn east and rush to Xiazhou to reinforce. In three days, he must reach the city of Xiazhou, otherwise, the military will deal with it." Yelu Dadun nodded deeply and immediately ordered.
"In addition, I don't know if the troops were sent from Amitabha Cave. Amitabha Cave is only two hundred miles away from Xiazhou, so it should have received military information earlier than us."
"Don't worry, General Guangxian will definitely send troops to rescue Xiazhou as soon as possible. As long as General Guangxian's army can cooperate with the Xiazhou garrison to entangle Zhong Shidao, in this way, when General Xiao's army arrives and surrounds the three sides, hehe, maybe we can also let those Song Gou drink a pot of hard."

The south gate of Xiazhou City was in trouble, and even the city tower collapsed. Of course, it was done by the Song army, but now that Xiazhou City has been occupied by the Song army, it is naturally necessary to erect this collapsed city wall that is more than ten feet long as possible in the shortest time.
Now, more than a thousand soldiers were digging and moving the mud, sand, bricks and stones in sweat.
"Brothers, work harder, hurry up, no matter what, before midnight tonight, we must clean up the place and rebuild the village wall." Someone kept shouting the soldiers,
"Oh, what's the point? It's easy to destroy, but it's difficult to build. Damn, so much mud and sand are really hard to clean up." A battalion commander wiped the smelly sweat from his forehead, looking at the ruins that had only been cleared by more than a third.
"What should I do? Who made Yuanyou's stone throwing machine camp so awesome? It took only half an hour to destroy such a section of the city wall." The guy next to him also had a complicated expression.
"But then again, I've been Qiu Ba for half my life. It's the first time I've seen the siege battle become so simple."
"Who might ask me to tell you that our King Zhengluo is really a god. A pile of broken wood made him become such a sharp weapon. The ancient city of Wuyan was relied on this thing to smash the 50,000 people and horses in Xixia in a mess, and I was captured by tens of thousands of them by my Song Dynasty.
In the city of Youzhou, relying on this thing, they smashed all the Liao army's siege equipment into pieces. The hundreds of thousands of troops could only climb ladders to attack the city honestly..."
"You guys, don't brag and spank me, why don't you hurry up. If you can't finish the ruins and rebuild the city wall before midnight, you can wait for the military law to deal with it."
Just when they were filled with emotion, they annoyed the boss responsible for rebuilding the city walls and scolded him with a dark face. Finally, the bragging soldiers cheered up and joined the cleaning work.
It was still half an hour before midnight, and it had been almost cleaned up. Wooden boxes loaded with stones or soil were filled in one by one, and then they began to pour the stirred cement into it in one bucket. In the surroundings, it was naturally necessary to reinforce it with wooden boards to prevent the cement mortar from flowing everywhere.
The cleaning work takes a lot of time, but it seems much easier to rebuild. The only thing that makes people worry is that such a large cement building takes at least three or four days to completely dry out.
However, the Liao army would not wait for that long. For this reason, Zhong Shidao simply took the lead and built a three-foot-thick brick wall on the periphery of the cement-poured wall with the demolished bricks. He also placed more than 20 heavy crossbows on the nearby city wall, giving this section of the temporarily not so strong city wall to the greatest extent.
The whole night seemed so quiet. The news from the scattered scouts had not encountered the enemy. It was not until noon the next day that Zhong Shidao received the news from the scouts from Dongze, Xiazhou.
At least 30,000 people were coming towards Xiazhou from the direction of Amitabha Cave. After learning about this, Zhong Shidao rushed to the city wall south of Xiazhou City and inspected the city wall that had been repaired.
Well, compared to the towering and tall city gate building before, the current south city gate looks a bit terrible.
There is no city gate or city gate tower. Some are just a brand new city wall, and the protective wall outside also protrudes several feet away.
In addition, they are all built by non-professionals and they need time to go, so the appearance of the exterior wall looks a bit terrible, but at least it is solid.
"Sir, today's day is enough, so as long as you can maintain such a temperature, at most tomorrow evening, this section of the city wall will become the strongest section of the entire Xiazhou." The general responsible for cleaning and rebuilding reported confidently to Mr. Zhong.
"Thank you for your hard work, but in at most two hours, 30,000 Liao troops will enter the city of Xiazhou. General Wang, how is your Yuanyou Stone Throwing Machine Camp?"
"General, don't worry, you have cleared enough blank space twenty-five feet away from this section of the city wall. All Yuanyou stone throwing machines have been reassembled. In addition, after entering the city yesterday, three hundred stone bullets have been made, which will come in handy at night at the latest. Now, we still have nearly a hundred stone bullets for use."
"Well, it's great. By the way, I'll contact the navy again and tell the old friend of Zhe Keshi about the situation here. In addition, tell the brothers that they are all cheering up and the city has been captured, but if they can't defend it, it's a shame that our Western Army in the Song Dynasty and the face of our Shaanxi North Road Strategy and the face of our Lord Wang, do you understand?"
"No!!!" Hearing Wang Jinglei's name and thinking of the fierce temper of this famous immediate boss, everyone was shocked and agreed sternly.
At this moment, the commander of the Amitabha Cave Guang Xian had commanded 30,000 elite troops and arrived at a place only eighty miles away from Xiazhou. However, at this time, he suddenly ordered the entire army to stop advancing and asked to camp on the spot, rest for a night, and set off again tomorrow morning.
Such military orders directly made all the generals in the army feel dissatisfied. After all, asking for troops is like putting out a fire. If you don’t hurry up at this time, you will miss the military situation. Not to mention that you are the people like yourself, even you, the commander, will not be able to afford to be guilty.
